The Triumph Tiger 800 and Tiger 800 XC are dual-sport motorcycles launched in 2010 by British manufacturer Triumph Motorcycles. The Tiger 800 is a more road-oriented bike, while the Tiger 800 XC is designed as a more off-road vehicle. Both bikes share the same frame and 799 cc (48.8 cu in) inline-three engine, which is derived from the smaller Triumph Street Triple.
There are a number of key differences between the two models. The Tiger 800 has cast alloy wheels, with a 19-inch wheel at the front and 17-inch wheel at the back. The Tiger 800 XC has spoked wheels with alloy rims and a larger 21-inch wheel at the front. The Tiger 800 XC has longer-travel suspension at the front and rear, with 45 mm forks, compared with 43 mm on the Tiger 800. The Tiger 800 has a motorcycle saddle adjustable from 810 to 830 mm (32 to 33 in), while the Tiger 800 XC saddle is taller at 845 to 865 mm (33.3 to 34.1 in). The Tiger 800 XC has more aggressive off-road looks, including a small beak-like high-level mudguard at the front, similar to the BMW F800GS, a bike the Tiger is designed to compete against Overall the Tiger 800XC is longer, wider, taller and heavier than the Tiger 800.
Both motorcycles share some components, including the engine, 19-litre (4.2 imp gal; 5.0 US gal) fuel tank, instrument panel, steel trellis frame, and brakes, which have optional ABS.
